Arsenal say defender William Saliba will be out for an “extended period” after a back injury at the World Cup for France. The centre-back will not require surgery on an injury which saw him substituted in the 30th minute of France’s semi-final defeat tp Spain, but is likely to miss a significant part of Arsenal’s Premier League title defence. Saliba was one of the standout performers in the Gunners’ title-winning campaign last season, making 50 appearances in all competitions. Arsenal kick off their 2026-27 campaign against Manchester City in the Community Shield on Sunday, August 16, before the Gunners begin…
